Day 10: Luca, Choy, Evan, and I explored a pretty extensive swimming and wading cave right near Portrero Redondo. There was an long underwater lake, which ranged from waist deep to swimming, and had a couple duck unders (where we held our breath and ducked under a rock wall, underwater, to emerge in air on the other side). Click here for a video of one of the duckunders.
Afterward getting back to the truck after this, we descended Hydrophobia canyon, which I really liked! It had lots of swimming and great jumps. I was a bit cold with my shorty wetsuit and overcast weather, and I opted out of a few jumps. I think the canyon took around 6 hours or so. Click here for a video of one of the jumps in the canyon.
As we exited the canyon and started the 3 mile walk back to Choy's pickup truck, a thunderstorm started. It made it very exciting for the hike back!
